I know that the polls say that Hillary will more than likley take West Virginia. I really hope that this could be wrong. I think if Obama could even take the state by 2-3 points it may finally send a message to the Clinton's that this is over.... Please West Virgina end the misery.

WV has similar demographics to PA and so does Kentucky,so I think the state will go for Hillary.

Both WV and Ken. will go for Clinton big time, look at the kind of people that live there. Ore. however is a different story, the Pac NW is open minded and is most definitely Obama country.

Rasmussen (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/west_virginia/west_virginia_democratic_presidential_primary - broken link) shows Clinton leading in WV 56%-27%

I support Hillary Clinton, and hopes that she gets the nomination.... with that said if she can pull of big wins... in the long run Michigan and Florida needs to be counted, therefore it can put her over the top as she should.

I do think they will eventually make some kind of concession and allow the Florida and Michigan delegates to be seated. However, I do not think the DNC will allow the Florida and Michigan delegation to put Senator Clinton over Obama. I think they will end up splitting them pretty evenly if they even decide to seat them.

You're living in a dream world, any "big wins" in little states like WV and Ken will be offset by an Obama won in Ore. Even if Clinton won all the remaining contests, it wouldn't be enough. The same goes for whatever plan they eventually decide on to seat Mi and Fla., it's not enough.

She is presently down by 158 delegates and over 700,00 in the popular vote. Realistically, under no scenario can she win. Hasn't the flocking of superdelegates to Obama's side given you any clue at all? Geez

Well when Congress and the President both have approval ratings hovering around 20%. I think its pretty safe to assume that there is a good number of people who are "bitter" and upset over our countries current direction. I know I'm a little miffed about it.

I reallllllly hate to burst your bubble here but it just ain't hapnin for Hillary! They can count Fl and MI till the cows come home and it will not be enough for her in the delegate count nor the popular vote and the Super Delegates will overturn the will of the people. There's always 2016.

I agree that it is time for Hillary to bow out gracefully but I understand her reluctance to do so. She has invested alot of time, energy, emotions and money into this campaign and she is hoping against all odds that something may happen to change things. I believe that after WV she will ride into the sunset but I have been wrong before. The situation may be more complex for her but I think she is making a mistake if she hangs on too much longer. The party is over for Hillary but the nightmare is just beginning for Obama.
